Interesting Designed Lead Object

[Ahab8]

I found this small lead object at a late 18th century site. Thought it was maybe a lead seal at first but now I don't think so. It has the cross design with four sections kind of like a cob has. It also looks like it was shot. Any help is much appreciated. This one has me stumped

My guess... lead seal.. BUT the "cup type" as I call em...

SIMILIAR to... but not limited to...



PS> Weird about that hole in it.

I can't locate mine amongst the piles, as I recall it was lead, cross with symbols/letters in each quadrant. Thinking some kind of seal.

The hole looks like it was made by a screw.
